Today's readings are Psalm 1, 2 Chronicles 34:1-4, 8-11, 14-33, and Colossians 2:8-23.
Today's readings have a theme of dedication to the Lord. Josiah, moved by God's word, gives himself and his kingdom in dedication to the Lord. Paul reminds the Colossians that they have been regenerated and given to Jesus in their baptism. This he compares to circumcision - that which is done to us, which, when received by faith, marks us as partakers of the riches of God's blessing. It sets us apart for Christ's service.
So today we have a challenge in Scripture. Do we live according to the life given in Christ or do we pursue our own sinful desires and attitudes? Our Lord has delivered life and salvation to all who believe. Do we walk in that faith or do we reject it?
May the Lord grant us to always walk in faith that he has accomplished our salvation.
